808CheesecakeJanesville — Restaurant in Janesville

Hi, This weekend was Shop Hop Weekend where you and your best friend jumps in your car and follows the red icons of all the shops that are a part of it! Well my BF was looking for one of the shops in our path and stumbled across this well kept secret! We went inside and bought each a personal cheesecake which we were planning to have for desert in the evening! Then my great idea was to get the sampler one as shown in my picture and as you can you all gone! We sat in my truck using the small little plastic fork trying to split it to share with each other well you are grabbing them from a freezer, so, it’s a good thing our fork didn’t break in our sweet & smooth samples we both enjoyed! However, we decided that the favorite for both of us was the Reese’s one and we were craving chocolate but keep in mind we had to dive into the fruity ones first. It was the most memorable moment that we shared today! Ya’ll need to go and live your now and eat those samples! I guarantee you, you will return in the future to have more! Hey Google it’s kind of hard to fix my mistakes on here!! I meant to say As you can see...

This a very small establishment in downtown Janesville. The way the store is set up is defiantly island vibing. It was my first time trying Hawaiian cheesecake, so I don’t have any other Hawaiian cheesecake to compare it to. I got the cheesecake bites variety and a turtle cheesecake. The bites are smaller then the diameter of sushi an the indivual one was about 4" in diameter. They were frozen, I understand why because of the texture. It Was extremely soft and the flavor of cream cheese was hard to taste. This honestly had the texture of old school sara Lee cheesecake, the ones they served at Pondarosa steak house. Some people might enjoy the nostalgia of their mom’s cooking and like the cream soup casseroles and cream cheese and cool whip dessert that are mixed together and put in a graham cracker crust from the 70s and 80s, that’s right, it tastes like it is mixed with cool whip. To give another example of what is taste like are the cheesecakes you find at buffets. I do not desire to eat these...

I would have loved to review the taste of the cheesecake, but after our lengthy drive home, we opened up the box and found the cheesecake frozen, solid. I used to weigh 400lbs, so I've had more than my fair share of delicious deserts. After seeing reviews for 808 Cheesecake on a number of sites and posted by people I've gotten good food recommendations from in the past, my expectations were high. A cheesecake iceberg isn't what I expected. To be very clear, we asked when we purchased it if it was frozen and we were told it wasn't. Spending $40 on a cheesecakecicle is more than a bit disappointing and I'm left feeling unsatisfied and more than a bit ripped off. Of course, eventually I'll be able to eat it - but I can get a frozen cheesecake at any of a dozen of other places for a quarter of the price. The young woman working was very pleasant, so that was the highlight of the experience.

I hope this review helps others plan to avoid a cheesecake freeze out. I won't be...
